MLB Instant Replay Reviews 96|97: Manny Gonzalez (2, 3)

Instant Replay Review overturned 1B Umpire Manny Gonzalez's out call in the top of the 2nd and confirmed Gonzalez's out call in the top of the 7th inning of the Cubs-Yankees game. In the 2nd, with one out and none on, Cubs batter Junior Lake hit a 2-1 sinker from Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka on the ground to Tanaka, who threw to first baseman Kelly Johnson as Lake arrived at first base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Cubs Manager Rick Renteria, Gonzalez's ruling that Johnson caught the ball and tagged first base ahead of Lake's touch arrival was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the Yankees were leading, 1-0.

In the 7th, with none out and one on, Cubs batter Nate Schierholtz hit a 2-2 sinker from Yankees pitcher Tanaka on the ground to Tanaka, deflected to shortstop Dean Anna who threw to first baseman Johnson as Schierholtz arrived at first base. Upon Instant Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Cubs Manager Rick Renteria, Gonzalez's ruling that Johnson caught the threw and tagged first base prior to Schierholtz's arrival was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the Yankees were leading, 3-0. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 3-0.
